That's right - it is the all-breed performance events that are supporting the
conformation show and are making it possible for us to have our 100th show
celebration with $1300 in prize money. It has also brought new blood and
workers into the club. We hold all-breed Obedience, Rally, Agility and Herding
trials. We are also teaching some die-hard conformation folks some new tricks
--- we may be getting older, but not to old to try something new!!
We now have 6 specialty shows in Washington/Oregon in about 6 weeks. 1 month
later we have two more. I do not expect people from all over to fly in for our
weekend (although they will miss a great show if they don't) and we are happy
keeping it local. We want to enjoy ourselves, enjoy our dogs and have a good
time. If that appeals to you, come and join us.
We are perfectly willing to allow the other clubs to host the futurities as
we will not give up our Memorial Day weekend because we can't get the park any
other time. There are lots of factors that go into selecting show dates and
things like venue availability are quite important.

What is it that you think the PC can do to get the clubs to move their show
dates? I can tell you when faced with a change of show dates to accommodate the
Futurity Maturity dates the Oregon club voted not to host the Futurity Maturity
any longer. We now host an agility trial the weekend following our shows and
make enough money to provide our membership with an opportunity to participate
in other venues without worrying about the finances.
The clubs that are making it are the clubs that support performance. I doubt
that any club will survive on conformation alone.

The parent club NEEDS to get involved in separating the shows within each

Oh well, back to the lurking room
Mike, I absolutely agree, here in California March and April are Hell months
especially April....It is near impossible to get to all of the shows and
were they to be spread out it could happen. So many clubs have moved into April
now my cost for Entries alone are just at $1000 this flurry of shows (yes, I
am showing more than 1, or 2 or 3...LOL) . Not everyone can afford this,
really I can't but am finding the way.. Add to that the expenses of getting
there and handling fees ect... if I did not have someone that would work with
me
on this I just could not do it.....
Having 4 shows in 2 days is not really the issue, the issue is that those
clubs chose to move into an already busy month which is sad cause it can and
will effect the clubs that do not want to or just can not do the same 4 shows
in
a weekend......
